Initializing thread color settings
With the manual color sequence, the thread color
information on the machine can be initialized each
time a new pattern is selected, and then the needle
bars can be assigned. This allows the needle bar
settings to be specified without being affected by the
thread color information from the previous pattern.
Precautions on the manual color
sequence
■
When embroidering a pattern
containing 7 or more colors
With the manual color sequence, the machine does
not monitor the timing for replacing thread spools.
Since the machine does not automatically stop and
no message indicating that the thread spool be
changed appears, as with the normal needle bar
settings, follow the step
c
on
page 110
or the
procedure described in either “Stopping the
machine at the next color change” or “Specifying
pause locations before embroidering” on page 118
to set the machine to stop with thread spools that
must be changed.
The deselect region setting (which specifies that a
thread color will not to be sewn) can be applied to
a part of the pattern with a specific color. In this
way, you can arrange the sewn embroidery
without actually editing the pattern.

thread color to be skipped
